prompt: ink

Puzzle Pieces

Ink spills, morning breaks,
this is not ars poetica,
just one more cold day,

Sun fades, twilight shatters,
far off memories of night
return like old friends.

Time Sucks

“In a certain house, where there were once many, there is one now;
Where there were many, at the end none remains!
With night and day as two alternating pieces of dice,
On the chessboard of the world, Time plays with living beings as pawns.”
-Bhartrhari, Passage of Time

I’m older than I should be,
I take a dozen pills a day, my back
aches all the time, my heart is failing,
but by the count of years, I’m not even
middle-aged yet. I’m getting older
faster than I ought to, every
day brings a new stress-induced wrinkle
as I scan my twitter feed and see
the exploits and the depravations of the truly
old, the wizened wealthy who refuse to die,
who cling onto life and their blood-earned
dollars. They rejoice in their decrepitude,
these ancient spreaders of rot, while I walk
step by step into the grave. What’s the point
of living long to see the death of the world.
